Chapter 4: Sign up for the rural program (2/2)



Seeing that the lady cadre from the office had no reaction, Yun Qiao couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He was afraid that he would be too late to go to the Great Northern Wilderness and be sent to another place. He couldn't help but ask, "Can I still sign up now?"

"Yes! You can sign up!" The cadre from the subdistrict office finally came back to his senses, a look of joy on his face. He excitedly shook Yun Qiao's hand and said, "Comrade, you have a very high level of ideological awareness. Our subdistrict is in need of comrades like you who have a spirit of selfless dedication!"

Although the country is now calling on educated youth to go to the countryside and to difficult places, there are actually very few who are really willing to endure the hardships. What's more, the higher-ups have issued rigid targets, and the street educated youth office can only do ideological work door to door. In order to meet the targets, the cadres of the street educated youth office have been talking so much that their lips are almost worn out.

So now suddenly someone came and volunteered to go to the countryside, and specifically asked to support the Great Northern Wilderness. This solved a big problem for the Youth League Office!

The cadres of the Youth League Office were so happy that they couldn't close their lips!

"Comrade, please sit down, please sit down."

Yun Qiao waved her hand: "Thank you, Comrade Sister. I won't sit down. I'll just stand."

"My last name is Feng, you can just call me Sister Feng."

"Sister Feng." Yun Qiao readily agreed and asked, "Sister Feng, can I choose where to go to the countryside?"

Sister Feng answered without hesitation, "You can choose. There aren't many educated youth who want to go to the Great Northern Wilderness, and most of them aren't full yet. Where do you want to go? Let me show you."

As she spoke, she took out a list from the drawer of her desk.

Yun Qiao quickly said, "Thank you, Sister Feng. I want to go to Farm 52 in Songjiang Province."

Sister Feng checked and asked, "Are there any relatives over there?"

Yun Qiao nodded: "My uncle."

"My dear uncle?"

Yun Qiao nodded: "Yes."

"That's great. Family members can take care of each other." Sister Feng had just finished speaking when she suddenly cried out "ouch".

Yun Qiao's heart tightened, "What's wrong?"

"It's such a pity that Farm 52 is full." Sister Feng was also very upset. She had promised Yun Qiao that she could choose any one she wanted, but in the end she couldn't go to the place she wanted to go.

"What can I do?"

Yun Qiao didn't panic. She carefully recalled some of the information her uncle had given her after returning to the city in her previous life, and then asked Sister Feng, "What about Farm 58? Is Farm 58 full?"

Yun Qiao remembered that his uncle had said in his previous life that Farm 58 and Farm 52 were right next to each other, separated by a river. He had also gone to the lake on the side of Farm 58 to hunt otters, and it was with the 80 yuan he earned from selling otter skins that the family of three survived that difficult winter.

Sister Feng checked and a look of joy appeared on her face: "Farm 58 is not full, do you want to go here?"

Yun Qiao nodded and handed the household registration document to Sister Feng: "Please register it for me."

She had been carrying the household registration card in her arms all the time. She could not remember why she took the household registration card to the Su family in her previous life. She probably thought that Wang Chunqi had instructed her in advance to change her identity, but it was not done for some unknown reason in her previous life.

Sister Feng opened the account book and smiled: "Ye Yunqiao, your name is quite nice."

Yun Qiao pursed his lips and smiled: "My father gave me this name."

Sister Feng quickly completed the registration and returned her household registration card, saying, "After registration, you still have to submit it to the district office for review. It will take about three days to get a response. Wait a day before you come back to get your rural residency permit to avoid a wasted trip. You'll also be given a train ticket and some supply tickets to buy supplies for the countryside. When you arrive in the Great Northern Wilderness, you'll also receive 200 yuan in resettlement fees for educated youth. However, that money won't be paid directly to you; it will be managed by the farm there."

"Thank you, Sister Feng. I'll take note of that." Yun Qiao said, grabbing a handful of candy from his pocket and stuffing it into Sister Feng's hand: "Thank you for your trouble. These are for your sweet tooth."

"Oh, you're so polite! This is what I should do." Sister Feng clutched the candy in her hand and suddenly thought of something. "Oh, right, the train ticket I got is for the special train for educated youth. There are so many educated youth going to the countryside this year, and the train capacity is limited. If you're lucky, you can get a ticket with a seat, but if you're unlucky, you might just have to stand."

It takes several days to get from here to Songjiang. If you're unlucky and have to stand, it's going to be very difficult. If your family can afford it and doesn't want to go through this, you can buy a seat in advance and just get to the meeting place at the designated time."

It seems that the candy came in handy. This was the first time Yun Qiao heard such a statement. If this was true, she would have to consider buying a ticket in advance.

It takes three days to take a train from Shanghai to Harbin. She can't stand standing all the way, and she has no confidence in taking a gamble.

After all, as a cannon fodder, her luck is not good at all.
